One of the most highly anticipated upcoming sets, set to be released in a couple of days, is the #10352 LEGO Icons The Simpsons: Krusty Burger. This is the third set in The Simpsons houses lineup after the #71006 LEGO The Simpsons House from 2014 and the #71016 LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E Mart from 2015. That was a decade ago, so it’s wonderful to see that LEGO is still thinking about and adding to this collection!

The 1,635-piece set brings to life the legendary Krusty Burger, complete with authentic features including a kitchen, dining area, restroom, drive-thru, the famous pole sign, and Homer’s unforgettable clown car. The seven included minifigs are Homer, Bart and Lisa Simpson, Farmer Krusty, Sideshow Bob, Squeaky-Voiced Teen, and Officer Lou.

To get ready for the release, I watched some of the preview videos to see what to expect. There is so much to like here, so I decided to share some of the most informative videos with you for further discussion.

Just like the previous two sets, the Krusty Burger is full of little references and Easter eggs, and it is also an excellent set for useful parts and building techniques for interior decorations. I remember all the custom buildings LEGO fans created ten years ago to expand on the theme, and this new set should revive this trend again!

The #10352 LEGO Icons The Simpsons: Krusty Burger will be available for LEGO Insiders from the 1st of June, and available for all from the 4th of June. Prices are as follows: €209.99 / £179.99/ $209.99. For more information, visit the LEGO Icons section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, just a reminder that LEGO Insiders who purchase the new set between the 1st and 7th of June will receive a freebie as well; the #5009325 LEGO The Simpsons Living Room, featuring the famous couch, a table with a lamp and phone, a rug, a remote control, and a Krusty Burger drink. On the wall is a sailboat painting, and a Krusty Burger ad is on the TV screen. The room is to scale for minifigures so fans of The Simpsons can add existing minifigures (sold separately) to recreate scenes. While supplies last. Terms and Conditions apply. LEGO Insiders membership required.

What do you think? Do you have the previous two Simpsons sets? And are you excited for the new one? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

First LEGO Nike Set Revealed & More!

Nike and the LEGO Group today announced that their global multi-year partnership is set to kick off this summer with a series of immersive experiences and co-branded products designed to inspire kids everywhere to embrace the joy of active and creative play.

The partnership brings together the “Just Do It” spirit of Nike with the imaginative power of LEGO bricks to invite all kids to engage in sport and play. Over the upcoming months, kids can enjoy the opportunity to engage in immersive experiences across different cities around the world, as well as a full collection of products, including LEGO sets and Nike footwear, apparel, and accessories.

In addition, three-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson will support the partnership by helping to engage kids through a reimagined world of play that will come to life across digital channels. More information on this will be announced in the upcoming weeks.

Wilson said: “I have loved playing with LEGO bricks since I was a kid and know that my creativity and play helped me not only in sports but also at school and in life. I’m thrilled to be part of this partnership with Nike and the LEGO Group and know we can help to make a positive impact with kids and adults alike.”

WINNING PRODUCTS FOR KIDS

The first LEGO product goes on sale on July 1, with the #43008 LEGO Nike Dunk set. This 1180-piece set, for LEGO fans aged 10 and up, features a Nike Dunk, rotatable brick basketball toy, and iconic “Dunk” slogan that sports fans can build, rebuild, and display. Hidden within the Nike Dunk model are stash compartments to safely store championship rings or other essentials, as well as extra laces for custom color swap-outs. Inspired by the iconic sneaker, first born and worn over 40 years ago, this set is a celebration of sneaker culture and LEGO creativity that blends the worlds of building and basketball. The set also comes with a unique basketball minifigure – B’Ball Head. Additional LEGO sets will go on sale in September, with more information to be released this summer.

The first Nike products will go on sale starting on August 1st, beginning with the Nike Air Max Dn x LEGO Collection as well as a line of apparel and accessories, followed on September 1 by the Nike Dunk Low x LEGO Collection and more, all celebrating the lifestyle of sport and play. The design of these products was inspired by the unique LEGO design aesthetic, from the iconic stud to the stylized LEGO minifigure, combined with the power of sport culture and DNA that Nike brings. Additional Nike footwear and apparel will be unveiled through the fall. More information will be released at a later date.

EXPERIENCES ROOTED IN ACTIVE AND CREATIVE PLAY

Both brands are committed to enabling access to active and creative play for communities around the world and have backed efforts for the United Nations to designate June 11 as the International Day of Play.

Over the coming months, Nike and the LEGO Group will bring play and fun to communities with unforgettable, experiential activations. From the 7th to the 11th of June, the Nike and LEGO Play Arena will be open to the public at LEGOLAND California Resort. At this basketball-themed experience, children and families can design their own LEGO minifigure athlete trading card, showcase their creative spirit by building their very own mini basketball jersey, and test their skills by shooting for the ultimate 3-pointer. Access to the Play Arena is included with general admission at LEGOLAND California Resort.

Federico Begher, SVP, Product Group, New Businesses at the LEGO Group said: “Play has the incredible ability to inspire and spark creativity in every child, and at the LEGO Group, we truly believe in that power. We’re excited to kick off the first chapter of our partnership with Nike, blending the joy of basketball with the magic of imagination”.

Cal Dowers, VP, Global Kids, NIKE, Inc., said: “At Nike, we are dedicated to fueling the potential of kids through play. Activating the full power of Nike – from athletes to our communities – helps us engage and inspire kids to experience the enjoyment of sport as a lifelong pursuit. Our partnership with the LEGO Group reinforces our commitment to inviting all kids to play.”

Against the backdrop of summer football in Europe, from July 19th to 27th, fans are invited to take part in a creative world of play at Nike’s and the LEGO Group’s football activation in London. Families will be able to see and participate in programming geared toward kids that center on and celebrate football, with energy days in partnership with nonprofit organizations that will focus on building girls’ confidence.

In Greater China, Nike will amplify the energy of the partnership across Shanghai, Beijing, and other key cities with several co-branded community events and in-store displays and activations at the Shanghai House of Innovation. In the fall, Nike will unveil a multi-functional playground made of recycled shoes in Shanghai. Igniting active play in kids, the court is part of a commitment Nike made to build 100 Nike Grind courts across Greater China, with 42 already built as of this year, creating tangible social impact while helping ensure the future of the planet and sport. More information on this event will be released at a later date.

Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Vice President and Chief Impact Officer, NIKE, Inc., said: “Nike is powering the future of youth sport — with the vision of an active, inclusive world that inspires all youth to play and achieve their greatest potential. Through coaching, we can put the fun back into sport and welcome all youth to participate. Our goal is to give the next generation an opportunity to enjoy a lifetime of sport and movement and help make their dreams real.”

The rollout of Nike and LEGO co-branded products, athlete content, and immersive experiences will be supported across Nike and the LEGO Group’s channels and will feature through-the-line marketing support.

The LEGO Nike Dunk set is available for pre-order from today, May 29th, at the Online LEGO Shop, priced at €99.99 / $99.99 / £89.99. Products will also be available via Nike channels, including in select Nike stores across the globe and via Nike.com.
